Any gov that claims to care about economic stability should treat keeping money circulating inside the UK as a top priority. If the goal is economic health, supporting the people who spend their money here should be front and centre.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

"persuade" here is a really vital word. We are getting on for 15 years of a programme specifically aimed at cajoling, forcing, starving and battering people on benefits to get them to cease their laziness and "get back into work" and, yet, there seems to be no end to their recalcitrance.

Nothing is more cringe than a far right supporter saying that the left are the fascists now. It clearly shows that they have no idea about the definition of the word or politics. They think it is an insult, not a description of a certain political belief, which they whole heartedly support. Dicks

UK public sector bodies spent £17bn with offshore-owned private equity firms last year. The same vultures received £31bn public sector contracts. Profiteering, low wages, tax dodging, asset-stripping is their business model. Enriched by public money. How many have politicians on payroll?

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.
